Installation Guide

Before beginning installation, ensure the recliner is unplugged from the power outlet. This motor is designed to replace existing Okin JLDQ.12.134.329R or JLDQ.12.134.329S02 series motors. Verify compatibility by checking your existing motor's brand and model number.

Steps for Replacement:

1. Disconnect Power: Unplug the recliner from the wall outlet.
2. Access Motor: Carefully tilt the recliner or remove any fabric coverings to gain access to the existing motor.
3. Disconnect Old Motor: Disconnect all cables from the old motor, including the power supply, hand control, and any slaved motor connections. Note their positions for re-connection.
4. Remove Old Motor: Unbolt or unclip the old motor from the recliner frame. The frame has specific demands for the actuator's minimum install dimension, stroke, and plugs.
5. Install New Motor: Position the new Okin motor in the same location as the old one. Securely bolt or clip it to the recliner frame. Ensure it fits correctly within the frame's dimensions (Minimum Inst Size: 134 mm, Maximum Inst Size: 463 mm).
6. Connect Cables:
   • Connect the 7-pin round plug with clip to the hand control switch.
   • Connect the 2-pin square plug to the power supply unit.
   • If applicable, connect any slaved motors to the 2-pin sockets.
   Ensure all connections are firm and correctly oriented.
7. Test Functionality: Before reassembling the recliner, plug it back into the power outlet and test the motor's operation using the hand control. Verify that the recliner extends and retracts smoothly.
8. Final Assembly: Once confirmed operational, reattach any fabric coverings or return the recliner to its upright position.

Important Note on Compatibility: While this motor is suggested to replace JLDQ.12.134.329R and JLDQ.12.134.329S02 series, slight differences may exist. These differences should not affect function or use, but always verify your motor brand and model first.

Operation

The Okin Power Recliner Motor operates in conjunction with your recliner's hand control. Once properly installed and connected to a power source, the motor will respond to commands from the hand control to extend or retract the recliner mechanism.

• Press and hold the appropriate button on your hand control to recline the chair.
• Release the button to stop the reclining motion at your desired position.
• Press and hold the other button to return the chair to its upright position.
• The motor has an operation frequency of "On 1 min/Off 8 min" to prevent overheating. Avoid continuous operation beyond recommended limits.

Maintenance

The Okin Power Recliner Motor is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can extend its lifespan and ensure optimal performance.

• Cleaning: Keep the motor and surrounding area free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe down the motor housing. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the motor or electrical components.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect all cables and connections for signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Ensure plugs are securely seated.
• Lubrication: The motor is generally self-lubricating. Do not apply additional lubricants unless specifically instructed by Okin support.
• Environmental Conditions: Ensure the recliner is used in a dry, indoor environment within normal room temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If your recliner motor is not functioning as expected, follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. No Movement:
   • Check Power: Ensure the recliner is securely plugged into a working wall outlet. Test the outlet with another appliance.
   • Check Power Supply: Verify that the power supply unit (transformer) is correctly connected to the motor's 2-pin square plug and that its indicator light (if present) is on.
   • Check Hand Control: Inspect the hand control for any visible damage. Ensure its 7-pin round plug is firmly connected to the motor's wiring harness.
   • Motor Overload Protection: The motor has a duty cycle (On 1 min/Off 8 min). If it has been operated continuously, it may have temporarily shut down to prevent overheating. Allow it to cool down for at least 8 minutes before trying again.
2. Partial Movement or Stuttering:
   • Obstructions: Check for any objects or fabric that might be obstructing the recliner mechanism or the motor's movement.
   • Loose Connections: Re-check all electrical connections to ensure they are secure.
3. Unusual Noises:
   • Foreign Objects: Disconnect power and inspect the motor and mechanism for any foreign objects that may have become lodged.
   • Mounting: Ensure the motor is securely mounted to the frame and not loose, which could cause rattling.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Okin customer support for further assistance. Do not attempt to disassemble the motor.
